## Description

**Partnership:** EQL Tech is recruiting this role for an early-stage AI-native finance operations company. The company runs finance workflows end to end for enterprise clients, using AI systems that do real operational work rather than assisting with it.

**About the company:** The business is growing quickly and already runs production systems for customers. It is hiring across forward-deployed engineering and AI strategy, and this hire will be the first person most future candidates meet.

**The role:** You will own hiring for every open role, from agreeing what great looks like with the hiring manager to putting strong candidates in front of them. Roughly 90% of the job is recruiting and 10% is people operations. You’ll report to the Head of Strategy and Operations.

You will:

-   Fill open roles on plan, with screens the hiring team trusts.
-   Build pipeline through outbound outreach, not inbound alone.
-   Agree a scorecard with each hiring manager and run a structured interview loop for every role.
-   Keep every candidate updated within two business days of each stage, and make sure no one drops the ball.
-   Run offers, onboarding and immigration basics reliably, without founder follow-up.

## Requirements

**Your profile:**

-   4+ years of full-cycle recruiting, at least two of them in-house.
-   Experience hiring into technical, customer-facing roles such as forward-deployed, solutions or sales engineering.
-   Strong at finding people who aren’t actively looking, and able to say where great candidates for a role come from.
-   Able to tell a strong forward-deployed engineer from a backend engineer, and a strategist from a consultant.
-   Comfortable with early-stage work: no playbook, shifting priorities, and happy with the unglamorous tasks.
-   Able to triage high volumes of applicants using AI tools without good people slipping through.

**Nice to have:**

-   Series B or earlier experience, ideally as the first or only recruiter.
-   Experience hiring FDEs, AI strategists or deployment consultants.
-   Experience managing agency or marketplace recruiters.
-   Familiarity with common immigration processes.
-   Experience leading or mentoring other recruiters.

## Benefits

**Benefits and compensation:** Salary is $140,000–$190,000 base plus equity, depending on experience (USD).
